It\u2019s replacing the traditional long surveys that employees procrastinate to fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pulse survey can focus on different aspects of remote work, such as communication, happiness, motivation, relationships, employee satisfaction, and engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey results will help you to act quickly and make better decisions. Pulse surveys give Springworks frequent and timely feedback. It gives us the pulse of our company\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why conduct pulse surveys? In the next section, you\u2019ll find the benefits of these pulse surveys.

They may feel disconnected from what\u2019s going on in the company. However asking our team for feedback <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/employee-engagement-guide\/\">regularly increased employee engagement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees suggest some innovative ideas and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/creating-a-feedback-culture\/\">share their feedback freely<\/a>.

As I mentioned above, we make decisions based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/engagewith\/anonymous-feedback\/\">employees\u2019 anonymous feedback<\/a> and it allows us to make a healthy and positive <a href=\"https:\/\/remoters.net\/jobs\/trends\/\">remote work culture<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\"><strong>People mention our company culture in their Glassdoor reviews. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.co.in\/Reviews\/Springworks-Reviews-E1013270.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-it-has-a-higher-response-rate\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_It_Has_a_Higher_Response_Rate\"><\/span><strong>3.

Objective<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before creating a remote employee pulse survey, we define our objective first. We ask these two questions: Why we\u2019re doing this survey and what we\u2019re looking to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-theme\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Theme\"><\/span><strong>2.

What is an employee pulse?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Employee pulse is a short, frequent survey that measures a particular metric. In simple terms, it checks the organization\u2019s health- thus, it is called \u2018pulse.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It replaces long format, and complicated questions and is purposefully designed to gain insight weekly or monthly instead of the traditional annual surveys. Therefore it is an employee pulse if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>It is Short:&nbsp;<\/em>They have 5-6 questions that are easy to complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Frequent:<\/em>&nbsp;This mini-survey will pop up once or twice a month. Thus, it is more frequent than traditional yearly&nbsp;employee engagement&nbsp;surveys or feedback sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Measures Metric:&nbsp;<\/em>It usually aims to measure a quantifiable metric over some time. (e.g., measuring the effectiveness of the team in April).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-how-does-the-employee-pulse-survey-help\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_does_the_employee_pulse_survey_help\"><\/span><strong>2. How does the employee pulse survey help?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Action<\/strong>: Employee pulse surveys provide insights that can benefit employee engagement, increase&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/team-building-guide\/\">team building<\/a>,&nbsp;and improve the overall organizational climate. Thus, it seeps into the roots of the company culture and helps strengthen it. Pulses assure data that allows actions with 10x returns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequency:&nbsp;Pulses are your answer to capture an employee\u2019s mood as and when you want. This helps combat the recency effect by capturing the mood of employees whenever required rather than the bi-yearly&nbsp;regular engagement surveys.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metric:&nbsp;Pulses are an effective way to measure specific necessary measures, which as Team Building,&nbsp;Leadership,&nbsp;and Organizational climate, or asking fun ad-hoc questions such as \u2018What do you think should be the company theme song?\u2019 or \u2018If you could get a new skill in 10 minutes, what would it be?\u2019 to boost conversations. Employee Pulse should be the beginning of conversations, not the end of them. Each metric is crafted to be measurable and trackable to understand organizational trends. This can be a big win for effective strategy building and planning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pulsing \u2192 Evaluation \u2192 Actionable metrics \u2192 Changes \u2192 Feedback.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Engagement:&nbsp;<\/strong>Employee pulsing helps increase engagement by boosting overall productivity,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/employee-wellness-program\/\">well-being<\/a>, and mood. Moreover, Employee Pulse can help managers check employee moods, and attitudes and set up&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/one-on-one-meeting-questions\/\">1:1 meetings<\/a>&nbsp;when needed.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/best-employee-engagement-apps\/\">Use employee engagement apps and tools<\/a>&nbsp;to create a positive office culture. How does this engagement help you? The equation is:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>more engagement= more voluntary involvement= more productivity= better results.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Anonymity<\/strong>: Anonymity can be a compelling feature if wielded well. When you know someone has the power to make or break your career, you will avoid offending them. In that case, anonymous pulses can help capture honest answers without any disguise. But as a manager, it\u2019s your responsibility to focus on the \u2018what\u2019 and not \u2018who.\u2019 What could work is simple-&nbsp;<em>strong opinions, loosely held.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scaling:&nbsp;<\/strong>One of the biggest pluses of Employee pulses is its flexibility in scaling. Instead of an inelastic, long traditional survey, pulses are short and allow you the liberty to choose your own scale. EngageWith allows 4 types of Scaling- Binary (Yes\/No), Rating (1-10, Likert scale), MCQ or Open text. Thus, managers are allowed customization and in-depth insights from responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how well designed, an organization is only as good as the people who live and breathe in it. To win in the marketplace, you must win at the workplace. Employee Pulse is a step towards it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-can-employee-pulse-surveys-replace-traditional-engagement-surveys\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Can_employee_pulse_surveys_replace_traditional_engagement_surveys\"><\/span><strong>3. Can employee pulse surveys replace traditional engagement surveys?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Not particularly- Employee<\/em> Pulse surveys don\u2019t replace traditional engagement surveys but instead help gain data on a real-time, regular basis rather than a once-in-a-year way. Thus, they act as validation to the primary employee engagement survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, pulse helps fix&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/getting-into-heart-of-conflict-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conflicts<\/a>, and boost engagement, and their higher response rate helps keep a check on the organization\u2019s pulse and assists managers, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/hr-challenges-and-solutions\/\">HR build effective strategies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-what-is-the-response-rate-that-i-can-expect\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_What_is_the_response_rate_that_I_can_expect\"><\/span><strong>4. What is the response rate that I can expect?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most significant advantages Employee Pulses gives is its response rate. In addition, it arguably has a better response rate than a traditional survey because of its shorter format and customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows managers and HR to capture real-time data and better insight into training, initiatives, culture, and overall processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-how-frequently-do-i-send-the-pulse-survey\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_How_frequently_do_I_send_the_pulse_survey\"><\/span><strong>5. How frequently do I send the pulse survey?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend sending pulse every 2 weeks to track data and gain real-time results. Thus, in a month, the team would have results on at least two metrics or initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can help the organization implement the necessary changes or bring in training at the nascent stage to avoid any further conflicts and increase team building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, its customizable features save the effort of personally DM\u2019ing the team or the entire company for any suggestions\/ views or feedback when it comes to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/employee-benefits-ideas-for-remote-workers\/\">remote working<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EngageWith allows more data in less time as employee pulse is individually received by the whole company or team. Thus, the frequency is flexible according to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-what-response-rates-would-be-expected\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_What_response_rates_would_be_expected\"><\/span><strong>6. What response rates would be expected?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, most pulse surveys enjoy a 90-100% response rate. This depends on the situation, but to ensure a higher response rate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Why the survey (objectives), what would be achieved (end goal), and <\/em>how the feedback<em>\/ responses would be used (process)<\/em>&nbsp;should be mentioned clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-is-the-pulse-survey-customizable\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Is_the_pulse_survey_customizable\"><\/span><strong>7. Is the pulse survey customizable?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely, a customizable pulse survey allows more flexibility in terms of the data.&nbsp;EngageWith&nbsp;allows questions to be picked from a library of pre-made, research-backed questionnaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has an ad-hoc questionnaire for fun, playful questions about the organization. Furthermore, it also allows customization, which is allowable without additional costs or setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bonus-make-or-break-features-in-employee-pulse-surveys\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BONUS_Make_or_Break_Features_in_Employee_Pulse_Surveys\"><\/span><strong>BONUS: Make or Break Features in Employee Pulse Surveys<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-anonymous-or-non-anonymous\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anonymous_or_Non-Anonymous\"><\/span><strong>Anonymous or Non-Anonymous<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, the product should have both features. However, the feature of anonymity would be particularly great while collecting feedback on culture or any data of a sensitive nature (e.g., responses on important metrics about<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/how-inclusive-is-your-diversity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;Diversity\/ Inclusivity<\/a>&nbsp;or leadership are preferred to be anonymous).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the pulse survey does not have an anonymity option, it could result in higher dropout rates, which would be an organizational loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-comprehensive-easy-to-read-reports\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comprehensive_easy-to-read_reports\"><\/span><strong>Comprehensive, easy-to-read reports<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Survey screens are easy, but if the nature of reports is too lengthy, technical, or complicated to asses, it would be chaotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EngageWith gives accessible, comprehensible data within minutes, which can be converted into different formats, so it\u2019s easy to work with and share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-security\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security\"><\/span><strong>Security<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to sensitive data, especially employee information, culture, feedback, etc., security and encryption are extremely essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing the right survey for your organization, security and protecting information should be non-negotiable. EngageWith encrypts data using SCRUM_SHA_256. This ensures thorough data protection and integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interface\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interface\"><\/span><strong>Interface<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The interface may not seem like a make-or-break feature at a micro level. But, if observed closely, a poor interface can reduce the response rate and increase the time per survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if a poor interface increases the time per survey from 2 minutes to 4 minutes, and the company deploys 2 surveys a month, it means a loss of 8 minutes. On the other hand, if the company has 100 employees, a 2-minute survey, and works for a week, it would mean 23 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if they fill out a 5-minute survey and work for a week, it would mean 58.3 hours. So the<em>&nbsp;loss of time is almost 35 hours, which is approximately a loss of 1 and a half days.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-features\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_features\"><\/span><strong>Additional features<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional features such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/peer-to-peer-recognition\/\">peer-to-peer recognition<\/a>, 1v 1 meetings, etc., can be a massive plus in the later data.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/engagewith\/pulse-survey\/\">EngageWith has an employee pulse survey tool<\/a>,&nbsp;Rewards, and Recognition&nbsp;(shoutouts and kudos, to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/employee-recognition-guide\/\">&nbsp;recognize employees<\/a>&nbsp;daily for their work, contribution, etc., and boost productivity and morale).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, EngageWith has been working on 1 v 1 meetings, OKRs, 360 Reviews, etc. Thus, it\u2019s an all-in-one package for the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1601291786621\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is an employee pulse survey?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Pulse surveys track how remote employees are feeling.
